About this opportunity
The Naval Surface Warfare Center Carderock Division (NSWCCD) is procuring one Cast Wedge Test Article through a combined synopsis/solicitation for commercial items under a firm fixed price purchase order using simplified acquisition procedures. The contractor must produce a sand-cast copper-nickel-chromium (Cu-Ni-Cr) test article manufactured in accordance with Ministry of Defence UK Defence Standard 02-824 Part 1, with specific requirements including controlled pouring temperature between 1350-1450 degrees centigrade and no ladle additions. The deliverable must include comprehensive documentation such as material certification, chemistry reports, dimensional inspection, and thermocouple data, with the data summary due within 30 business days of completing the work. The government will evaluate quotes on a lowest price technically acceptable (LPTA) basis, assessing both price and technical capability/approach, and intends to award without discussions to the responsible quoter offering the most advantageous proposal. Questions must be submitted by 10:00 AM EDT on October 1, 2025, and quotes are due by 10:00 AM EDT on October 3, 2025, following multiple deadline extensions through three amendments.
This procurement initially included a small business set-aside under NAICS code 331529 (Other Nonferrous Metal Foundries) with a 500-employee size standard, but Amendment 0003 removed the set-aside designation, making it available to all qualified contractors. No current incumbents or specific award values are mentioned in the solicitation documents, though the contract period spans one year from award with delivery of the cast wedge test article requested by September 30, 2026. The procurement involves manufacturing a single specialized test article that will undergo rigorous testing and documentation requirements as part of naval research and development activities. Performance will take place at the contractor's facility, with the completed article to be shipped to NSWC Carderock Division in West Bethesda, Maryland. The solicitation falls under PSC category 9540 (Structural Shapes, Nonferrous Base Metal) and represents a specialized casting procurement for naval defense applications.
